THE MARQUEE
CNN officially closed the curtain on the fourth season of its American adaptation of Have I Got News for You on Saturday, March 28, 2026. The finale, which aired at 9 PM ET, saw host Roy Wood Jr. guiding the panel through a comedic breakdown of the week’s most pressing headlines. The series, produced by Hat Trick Productions, continues to serve as a cornerstone of CNN’s weekend entertainment lineup.
The season finale featured a high-profile guest list, including veteran tech journalist Kara Swisher and acclaimed British comedian Nish Kumar. They joined permanent team captains Amber Ruffin and Michael Ian Black to spar over current events. Swisher provided her trademark sharp-witted analysis of the media landscape, while Kumar brought a bridge of humor from the original BBC format to the U.S. stage.
Since its debut, the American version of the long-running British franchise has focused on bringing a satirical lens to the U.S. political and cultural cycle. Under the leadership of Roy Wood Jr., the show has maintained a steady viewership by blending hard news expertise with late-night comedy styles. With Season 4 now complete, the network has successfully solidified the format as a recurring fixture in its programming strategy.
